Content for LED totems, video fascia and booth displays
A vertical totem, horizontal video fascia and demo display can tell different parts of the same story. Before producing final files, assign a message to each destination and agree how the displays work throughout the program.
Give each destination a role
A totem might explain one product idea vertically, a fascia might identify the booth, and a demo display might show what the presenter needs to explain. These are proposed uses; the final arrangement depends on the design and program. Keep essential information where visitors can follow it during the activity.
For a shared scene across displays, describe the intended visual continuity. For independent content, record when each destination changes and whether changes must coincide. The video team translates that requirement into playback and outputs; use the relevant system guides to prepare the configuration.
Request destination specifications before final delivery
- Identifier, orientation and visible area of each destination.
- Content dimensions in pixels, crops or excluded areas, and a template approved by video.
- Playback system and file requirements: container, codec, frame rate and transparency if needed.
- Audio: whether it is present, its destination system and who confirms its use.
- Duration, looping, start point and waiting content.
- Delivery deadline, approver and planned operator review.
Connect files, destinations and program stages
Scroll the table sideways. With a keyboard, focus it and use the arrow keys.
| Conceptual destination | Proposed role | Content to prepare | To confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical totem | Explain one product idea | Approved vertical version | Visible area, template and viewing from the intended location |
| Horizontal fascia | Identify and support the booth | Short message adapted to the format | Continuity or repetition and image areas |
| Demo display | Show an interface or detail | Live source or identified recording | Route, audio use and fallback |
| Meeting display | Support a conversation | Authorized document | Simultaneous use or a shared schedule |
Deliver identifiable revisions
Use names that connect destination, language and revision. Include a list showing which file replaces which and who approved it. Keep the original and last accepted version; “use the latest” does not identify a delivery.
File requirements depend on the playback system. Resolume publishes its own media preparation recommendations; another player may require something different. Confirm the system and version with the technical lead first. Use the relevant system help for export and playback.
Review content at its destination
The agreed review should show that each file reaches the correct destination with the intended orientation, framing, text and audio. Include simultaneous changes if required. Record the result, revision and open item; opening the file on another computer does not establish destination playback.
An AV review does not approve supports, suspended equipment or loads. Coordinate those aspects with the design team, venue and relevant technical specialists.
A documented totem and fascia reference
The totem and fascia case, credited to Eventos Globales under common management with GLMedia, documents an LED totem and LED fascia. Its photographs show patterns followed by content. They do not by themselves identify a player, codec or support method.
Conceptual example for a new proposal: use the totem for a vertical explanation and the fascia for identification, while keeping a demo on another display during a presentation. The matrix helps compare those roles and prepare content for each destination.
Planning worksheet
Complete one entry per destination and per delivered revision. Use it as a starting point for coordination between design, content and video.
Common questions
Can the totem and fascia use the same video?
It may be a source asset, but framing and readability need review for each destination. Agree separate versions or a combined template before export.
Should we send one large file or one per display?
The playback system and agreed video map determine that. Record the choice and what each visitor will see in the matrix.
Can we start before the resolution is final?
Yes. Develop the message and a draft for each destination. Final exports wait for the confirmed technical template.
What should we check before the files are ready to use?
Review each revision on its intended display with the operator. Check framing, readability, language, audio and any simultaneous changes. Record the result and open items.

Send a booth sketch, content references and the purpose of each display. We can organize destinations, revisions and questions for the video team before final file production.
